Description

Please update the use cases based on DisQus comments:

I just discovered after some research that Linode should work for on-premise audio-video chat and conferencing. Some software needs a real-time clock for good performance.

Linode uses KVM, which supports a paravirtualized clock:

Maybe the Linode docs could be extended to cover this growing use case. I hear that Zoom is so busy with the pandemic lockdowns, they are just hanging up on many customers!
